== Purpose ==
The purpose of the KDE Release Team is to define and execute the official software releases of KDE.
 
The Release Team is responsible for setting release schedules for the official KDE releases. This includes release dates, deadlines for individual release steps and restrictions for code changes.
 
The Release Team coordinates release dates with the marketing and press efforts of KDE.
 
== Members ==
The Release Team is composed of Module Coordinators, Marketing Team liaison (sebas), and the people who actually do the work of tagging and creating the releases (dirk).
 
As is our tradition, decision making is an open and public process and we welcome input from all concerned parties, including our partners, the packagers, and the distros.
 
== Contact ==
Please contact the Release Team by [mailto:[email protected] email] or join our public [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team mailing list].
 
== Current Activities ==
 
* The 4.0 branch is in bugfixing mode, preparing for 4.0.4 to be tagged by the end of April 2008. Bugfix / translation updates are being shipped on a monthly schedule.
* Trunk is open for new features, new strings, bugfixing, and new artwork in preparation for 4.1.0 expected in Jul-Aug 2008
 
== Module Coordinators ==
=== Functions ===
Module coordinators perform the following duties:
* primary point of contact for the Release Team concerning issues with the module
* help determine release schedules
* communicate release schedules with the module developers
* provide feedback from developers to the Release Team
* review new applications for inclusion in the module
* review old, unmaintained applications for removal from the modules and help find new maintainers
* review external dependencies for the module
* help set and review goals for major and feature releases
* help with release preparation (eg. update application version numbers)
